Chris wrote to his fans personally back in the fall to say that he isn't running for president. You can see his letter here http://www.walkenfanclub.com/images/walkensept05letter.jpg Also, his agent Toni Howard also spoke about it to the LA Times http://www.azcentral.com/ent/pop/articles/0819walkenforprez0819.html It would be cool if it were true, but it isn't. Sorry Candy Rosenbaum Walken Fan Club I can also confirm this is a hoax. Chris wrote to his fans personally back in the fall to say that he isn’t running for president. You can see his letter here

Actually, this is a bit of conventional wisdom that Republicans have used to convince themselves that the Bush 2000 election was no different than Clinton in 92. However, exit polls showed that Perot voters were split nearly 50-50 on which candidate they would have voted for if Perot wasn't in the race, despite Republican claims that they would have all gone for Bush. “Clinton was elected in 1992 because Ross Perot sucked off enough Rep-ish votes.”

It's 2005. All that you mention can be done later if enough support can be mustered. Right now he's looking to see if it's there. With all due respect, give it some time before you cry "sham." And by the way, I'm more than willing to admit I'm wrong about all this, but I think it's too early to tell if the guy is lying or not. The website (if you read it) seems very serious and very consistent. Let's wait and see.

"losing lives at war" implies he'd rather lose lives, like 9/11, while NOT at war? Sounds like an anti-war, non Christian, therefore Dem variant. Nixon was elected in 1968 because of Wallace. Jon Anderson did NOT stop Reagan from being elected in 1980 (but did stop Ed Clark, Libertarian, from establishing a real party) Clinton was elected in 1992 because Ross Perot sucked off enough Rep-ish votes. Bush was elected in 2000 because Nader sucked off enough Dem-ish votes. Smart strategy though, if he wants to be independent.
